Anyone have any funny stories they would care to share that happened while shooting on location or in the studio? Would love to hear them. Thanks.

I have one...a little crude but funny nonetheless...while shooting a model in the studio a few months make, the model asked me to let her know if her 'hot pocket' was showing...then she proceeded to sing the jingle from the tv commercial...if you can't figure it out don't ask...lol...I still laugh about that comment to this day.

Shooting a model portfolio and she asks if she can go change. I said,"Of course!"
She comes out of the dressing room stark naked.
She needed to go to another room because.........?

While shooting a Sumatran Rhinoceros, I almost slipped and fell in her pool. I made some strange gyrations to keep from falling in. She was very docile and tractable, her name was Emmy. Just one of the hazards of being a zoo photographer!

Just remembered another one. I was photographing the transfer of two Egyptian Cobras. The keeper was to transfer them from the cage to two cloth sacks and then into a crate for shipping. The person that arranged the shoot stopped and asked me how I would shoot it in the event a snake got loose. I looked at her like she'd lost her marbles. I pointed at the door and said, look over there when the snake hits the floor, and all you'll see is me running out that door.

Back when the Rams were in LA, I was shooting two of their cheerleaders. About 10-15 minutes into the shoot, one of the art directors lets me know my zipper is open. I said, "Thanks, I was just prepared in case anything comes up". Everyone laughed and we got on with the shooting.

Was shooting an ice hockey tourney this past weekend using someone else's gear. I shoot Canon, this was Nikon.......

At some point during the day I notice that the focus point had changed in the viewfinder from the center point. I had no idea what I had done, but here I am, in front of God and everyone (spectators in the stands behind me), reading the manual to figure out how to change the settings back..........

Let will instill confidence in your customers now, won't it?
